JULY 17–21, 2024
Marian University, a great Catholic university, wants to journey with you and guide you through the experience.
The National Eucharistic Congress is happening in Indianapolis, Marian University seeks to journey with you during this monumental event. The last eucharistic congress was over 40 years ago and saint’s Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul 2nd were present! Next year we will have great speakers such as Fr. Mike Schmitz, Bishop Robert Barron, Sr. Miriam, Edward Sri, etc. By journeying with us, you will experience everything that the NEC has to offer all while getting to know other catholic high schoolers from all over the country and college students passionately living out the Gospel call in their own lives. Our hope for you is to have a profound encounter with Christ and His Church and discover your own eucharistic mission in the world. Below you can find all the details forhow you can participate in this opportunity.
Step 1
Marian University will buy bulk order of NEC.
Step 2
High Schoolers will register through Marian University CampMinder.
Step 3
Marian University will provide the group code for everyone to register for the NEC.
Youth can attend this experience without any parish staff. Each youth will be placed in a small group with other high school youth, a couple college-aged students, and an adult chaperone. Marian University will hire and train a staff of chaperones with a ratio of 1:4 chaperone to youth.
Additionally, we will offer any adult who is a youth minister for the parish/diocese an opportunity to serve as a chaperone for this experience. In doing so, we will provide Safe Parish and small group training, and a stipend covering the costs of registration. Each chaperone will be required to pay the 600 upfront but receive the stipend after the NEC is complete. Due to capacity and rooms, we are requiring no more than 2 ministers for every 10-youth coming to the NEC.
Each high school participant will be placed in a small group with roughly 9 other youth led by a couple college-aged students and an adult chaperone. The small group will journey through the entirety of the congress together.
